RIP EGM

It’s a sad day – legendary American videogame magazine EGM will ceased to exist as of this month. The February issue, which was due to feature Street Fighter IV on the cover, won’t even make it to the press. It will apparently be available online at 1UP.com soon though.

EGM stood tall over other US publications, with honest reviews (recently naming and shaming companies that refused to give them review code over previous poor scores) and truthful opinions. The magazine was also well known for the annual April Fool’s jokes that tricked many stupid gamers.
